“Did you watch the cold open on ‘SNL’ last night? Alec Baldwin was back, playing the part of Donald Trump, and it’s just uncanny. Baldwin seems to be weathering into the Trump impersonation, even as Trump floats above the usual quick-aging that besets American Presidents. It’s as if Baldwin is aging for Trump, like ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray.'”

I fear it is yet another complication caused by Trump Derangement Syndrome symptom: premature aging. I’m not a doctor but I think it’s brought on by too much bile in the system, and I’m pretty sure it belongs somewhere along the Munchausen by Proxy spectrum.

I’ve coined it Senescenceby Proxy, and frankly I see no need to do anything about it.
